How does that prove anything? You didn't need to trade down to get Bayless.
We could have picked him up at 6. All the more reason to stay as high as possible
so that unexpected slips can be capitalized on when its your turn. The Nets have
been the benefactors of slips now twice in the past 3 years. Good for them.
You stay at the best position you can to have the most options when its your turn.
Targeting a single player and then saying, well, I'll trade down cause he'll be
available at a lower spot is nonsense (Westbrook). You have proved nothing.
You trade Pick 6 and maybe a player Like Crawford down to maybe pick 11 for Daniels and pick 41. Daniels has a TO next yr you dump his contract pick Bayless @ 11 and maybe see if you can send (pick 41 maybe even another second rounder and cash) to a team picking above 41 and possibly land CDR, Sonny Weems, Chalmers, Jordan.
Countless number of quality players slipped in this draft.
